Ceracolors Water-Soluble Wax Paint 50ml - S2 Titanium White is a professional beeswax-based paint that delivers the luminous optical quality of wax with the convenience of water-based handling. Titanium White (PW 6) is a bright, slightly bluish white with the greatest light scattering power of any pigment, making it the most opaque and highest covering white in the Ceracolors range. It is essential for clean highlights, strong value control, crisp colour mixing, and creating pale tints without losing brightness.

Made from pharmaceutical-grade beeswax blended with naturally derived waxes, Ceracolors supports encaustic and wax painting techniques without requiring heated tools, electricity, or specialist equipment. Use it straight from the tube for dense, opaque coverage and textured passages, or thin it with water for softer applications, scumbling, and watercolour-like veils. Titanium White is especially useful for building structure in a painting, correcting shapes, lifting value, and creating pastel mixes with strong hiding power.

Ceracolors dries in two stages: it becomes touch-dry quickly as water evaporates, then continues curing as wax crystals coalesce over days or weeks depending on thickness. During the early stage you can reopen and blend with a damp brush. Once cured, heat set and fuse using a hair dryer, heat gun, or pastry torch to increase durability and wet scrub resistance and to further manipulate the wax surface.

Best on rigid supports such as wood panels, but also suitable on canvas and paper, and can be applied to ceramics, glass, metal, or plastic. Clean up easily with soap and water, and remove dried paint with household ammonia.
